    摘要: Disclosed are compositions and a method for detecting single nucleic acid molecules using rolling circle amplification (RCA) of single-stranded circular templates, referred to as amplification target circles, primed by immobilized primers. In one form of the method, referred to as a bipartite primer rolling circle amplification, (BP-RCA), RCA of the amplification target circle (ATC) depends on the formation of a primer by target-mediated ligation. In the presence of a nucleic acid molecule having the target sequence, a probe and a combination probe/primer oligonucleotide can hybridize to adjacent sites on the target sequence allowing the probes to be ligated together. By attaching the first probe to a substrate such as a bead or glass slide, unligated probe/primer can be removed after ligation. The only primers remaining will be primers ligated, via the probe portion of the probe/primer, to the first probe. The ligated primer can then be used to prime replication of its cognate ATC. In this way, an ATC will only be replicated if the target sequence (to which its cognate probe/primer is complementary) is present. BP-RCA is useful, for example, for determining which target sequences are present in a nucleic acid sample, or for determining which samples contain a target sequence. In another form of the method, referred to as immobilized primer rolling circle amplification (IP-RCA), RCA of the ATC depends on incorporation of a target sequence in the ATC during its formation. If the target sequence has been incorporated, a primer that can hybridize to the sequence will prime RCA of the ATC. This form of the method is useful for determining which form or forms of a variable sequence are present in a nucleic acid sample.

    摘要: Disclosed are compositions and a method for amplification of nucleic acid sequences of interest. The method is based on stand displacement replication of the nucleic acid sequences of interest by multiple primers. In one preferred form of the method, referred to as multiple strand displacement amplification, two sets of primers are used, a right set and a left set. The primers in the right set are complementary to one strand of the nucleic acid molecule to be amplified and the primers in the left set are complementary to the opposite strand. The 5′ end of primers in both sets are distal to the nucleic acid sequence of interest when the primers have hybridized to the nucleic acid sequence molecule to be amplified. Amplification proceeds by replication initiated at each primer and continuing through the nucleic acid sequence of interest. A key feature of this method is the displacement of intervening primers during replication by the polymerase. In another preferred form of the method, referred to as whole genome strand displacement amplification, a random set of primers is used to randomly prime a sample of genomic nucleic acid (or another sample of nucleic acid of high complexity). By choosing a set of primers which are sufficiently random, the primers in the set will be collectively, and randomly, complementary to nucleic acid sequences distributed throughout nucleic acid in the sample. Amplification proceeds by replication with a highly processive polymerase initiated at each primer and continuing until spontaneous termination. A key feature of this method is the displacement of intervening primers during replication by the polymerase. In this way, multiple overlapping copies of the entire genome to be synthesized in a short time.

    摘要: Unimolecular and bimolecular hybridization probes for the detection of nucleic acid target sequences comprise a target complement sequence, an affinity pair holding the probe in a closed conformation in the absence of target sequence, and either a label pair that interacts when the probe is in the closed conformation or, for certain unimolecular probes, a non-interactive label. Hybridization of the target and target complement sequences shifts the probe to an open conformation. The shift is detectable due to reduced interaction of the label pair or by detecting a signal from a non-interactive label. Certain unimolecular probes can discriminate between target and non-target sequences differing by as little as one nucleotide. Also, universal stems and kits useful for constructing said probes.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for the comprehensive analysis of nucleic acid samples and a detector composition for use in the method. The method, referred to as Binary Encoded Sequence Tags (BEST), involves generation of a set of nucleic acid fragments; adding an adaptor to the ends containing recognition site for cleavage at a site offset from the recognition site; cleaving the fragment to generate fragments having a plurality sticky ends; indexing of the fragments into sets based on the sequence of sticky ends. The fragments are indexed by adding a offset adaptor to newly generated ends. A different adaptor will be coupled to each different sticky end. The resulting fragments—which will have defined ends, be of equal lengths (in preferred embodiment), and a central sequence derived from the source nucleic acid molecule—are binary sequence tags. The binary sequence tags can be used and further analyzed in numerous ways. For example, the binary sequence tags can be captured by hybridization and coupling, preferably by ligation, to a probe. The probe is preferably immobilized in an array or on sortable beads. One form of the BEST method, referred to as modification assisted analysis of binary sequence tags (MAABST), assesses modification of sequences in nucleic acid molecules by detecting differential cleavage based on the presence or absence of modification in the molecules.

    摘要: Disclosed are compositions and a method for of amplifying nucleic acid sequences useful for detecting the presence of molecules of interest. The method is useful for detecting specific nucleic acids in a sample with high specificity and sensitivity. The method also has an inherently low level of background signal. A preferred form of the method consists of a DNA ligation operation, an amplification operation, and a detection operation. The DNA ligation operation circularizes a specially designed nucleic acid probe molecule. This operation is dependent on hybridization of the probe to a target sequence and forms circular probe molecules in proportion to the amount of target sequence present in a sample. The amplification operation is rolling circle replication of the circularized probe. A single round of amplification using rolling circle replication results in a large amplification of the circularized probe sequences. Following rolling circle replication, the amplified probe sequences are detected and quantified using any of the conventional detection systems for nucleic acids such as detection of fluorescent labels, enzyme-linked detection systems, antibody-mediated label detection, and detection of radioactive labels. Because, the amplified product is directly proportional to the amount of target sequence present in a sample, quantitative measurements reliably represent the amount of a target sequence in a sample. Major advantages of this method are that the ligation step can be manipulated to obtain allelic discrimination, the DNA replication step is isothermal, and signals are strictly quantitative because the amplification reaction is linear and is catalyzed by a highly processive enzyme. In multiplex assays, the primer oligonucleotide used for the DNA polymerase reaction can be the same for all probes. Also described are modes of the method in which additional amplification is obtained using a cascade of strand displacement reactions.

    摘要: Disclosed are reagents and a method for efficient in vitro molecular cloning of nucleic acid molecules of interest. Because the method is entirely in vitro, it can be automated and scaled-up in ways that are not possible in cell-based molecular cloning. The method involves insertion of a nucleic acid molecule of interest in a linear vector to form a circular vector where one strand is continuous and the other strand is discontinuous. The continuous strand of the circular vector is then amplified by rolling circle replication, amplifying the inserted nucleic acid molecule in the process. The amplification is rapid and efficient since it involves a single, isothermic reaction that replicates the vector sequences exponentially. The amplification process is amenable to automation where multiple reactions are carried out simultaneously in a small area. The amplified nucleic acid can be used for any purpose and in any manner that nucleic acid cloned or amplified by known methods can be used. This includes sequencing, probing, restriction analysis, subcloning, transcription, hybridization or denaturation analysis, further amplified, and storage for future use or analysis.

    摘要: This invention pertains to an improved method for detecting a nucleic acid target sequence with a replicatable RNA reporter system. Two polymerase-mediated reactions are used to generate a target-specific gene containing a DNA sequence for a replicatable RNA. Transcription of the target-specific gene yields a replicatable RNA which is amplified by replication. Synthesis of the gene and the replicatable RNA is strictly dependent upon specific interaction with the target sequence. Consequently, the amplified signal (RNA) is target-dependent and background signal is reduced.
